Tube Integrateds...why not a preout for subs.....

Hello. I always wonder why tube integrated manufacturers do not provide a preout for the use of a sub. Truly, anyone that is using a tube may be 'purist' and not use a subwoofer. Truly, I would, but I am using a hybrid amp/preamp.

My problem is with trying to get my friends who say they can't spend much to get them into what they would love. I can't ask them in one swipe to spend more than $1500.00 for the amp section. It is simple wiring. And if you want to introduce someone....I am just saying. Any ideas?

Indeed + descent phono section preferably with 2 gain settings for MM/MC, tape loops and descent headphone jack.

Al,
Not necessary it would require to have an extra tube for each channel(buffer). Just like in conventional preamp with one main 'out' that can be disconnected from poweramp 'in' I don't see a necessity to have a buffer stage unless you'd like to have both preamp section connected to amp and another set of preamp outputs together.
